I recently went through my CD collection and put all of the CDs into books. I had all these leftover jewel cases and no idea what to do with them. I also have this area of a room as my office and I desperately needed privacy. I decided to make a wall and it turned out way better than I had expected (not to toot my own horn). I didn't discover this site (thank you razberryjam) until I had already started attaching the cases, so I only have pictures part way through, but you should be able to figure it out if you want to attempt this.

Step 1 *optional* Empty the middle part of the jewel case (the piece that holds the CD in) and clean the outside. I managed to break quiet a few in the process so be careful.

Step 4Now here is the really fun part -- the wiring. I used copper wire because I think it is perdy, but you can use anything you want. It just so happens that Jewel cases have these rectangular little slits in them that are perfect for wiring. I inserted the wire through the holes and attached the two tiles. Here are some pictures, but it's kind of a trial and error sort of thing. I just did my best. *started taking too many pictures about this point*

i love your idea and have been trying to think of ways to change your project around to fit my needs. we already have a ton of holes in our walls, so i was thinking about maybe making the jewel cases into a self-standing privacy screen. i think that by glueing the jewel cases together while open, i can use the hinges they have already to make the screens stand up alone. this way, i wouldn't have to use anything to hang them. granted, they wouldn't look pretty from both sides like yours, but i think in my case, they only need to look nice from one side. do you guys think this would work?

Thanks guys for all your sweet comments. Honorhappy - it does move a little because it is strung up by wires, but it doesn't flow easily because it is so stiff.

Unfortunately I had a wee little accident. For people who attempt to make this it is worth the time to wire each of the cases together. One of the cases at the glue line broke and the whole thing started to fall. Not all is lost though. I am going to attempt to wire it and maybe even put a layer of contact paper or tape (if I can find pretty enough tape) on the back to reinforce it. I'll keep you updated on the progress, but until my term is over at school I will have to put it on hold.
